The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, formerly known as Sonderklasse  (German for "special class" and abbreviated as "S-Klasse" ) is a series of full-sized luxury flagship vehicles produced by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz.

The top-of-the-line car and one time World's best-selling luxury sedan has been manufactured through the years by many parents that includes Daimler-Benz  ( 1972-1998), DaimlerChrysler from (1998-2007) and Daimler AG (2007 to present).

I dey tell you.. that S600

Like for Benz share for Bugatti

Mercedes benz is a money pit. I drove a 2010 S 550 4matic briefly and the money it costs to maintain it in 1 year was almost enough to purchase another car. A simple oil change, you'll have to visit the dealership. To change the headlight, they had to put down the engine and a few other things and by the time they were done, my bill was over $1000!


The only way I'd purchase a Mercedes again if I am coming back to Nigeria for good. Unlike over here, maintaining Mercedes benz in Nigeria isn't that expensive.

I’m on my second Mercedes and I can tell you your dealership didn’t give you best deal.
Buy a maintenance package for about $5,000 up front, and they will fix whatever needs to be fixed absolutely 100 percent whenever you need them to. Including all regular checks and roadside assistance. Unless it’s an accident then you know it’s up to your insurance.

You can even get cheaper maintenance packages for about $3,000- $3,500 and only pay $150-$200 copay whenever something goes wrong.

I actually haven’t had to use any of the packages I paid for but the peace of mind it brings makes it worth it.

Think long term savings

Nothing else but Benz.

If you have no technical inclinations, be ready to pay premium prices at the "stealership". But with Amazon and eBay, why would any sane person go to the dealership once your warranty is up?

s500 or s 63

My ride soon

So all the rides you've had in the past no do you abi

The $5000 is it yearly?

I definitely love my car ... the smoothest ride I have ever had in a car. It was like floating on the air! But I started having double mind the day I took my car to the local Pep Boys for an Oil and Filter change, and they directed me to the dealership. A few months later, my headlight went out and I went back to the same dealership and my bill was over $1000 ... that's when I decided that the car is above my budget

The 5th generation is still the dope to me

No it’s not yearly. Depending on who you get the maintenance plan from, it covers between 3-5 years starting from when the manufacturers warranty expires.
So let’s say you’re not buying a brand new one, buy one that’s still new (like 2-3) years and less than 30,000 miles on it. That way, you can have additional manufacturers warranty even up to 1 or 2 years before having to buy a maintenance plan.

Good info! Thanks.

I will keep my eyes open, if something comes my way, I will give it a shot and try the warranty stuff. But I am not sure that I can take a plunge on a 2015 or later model MB right now tho.... those MFs are pretty pricey! Problem is, I like big cars so, for me, it gotta either the S Class (or the GL 450/550 SUV).

True true. Or both of you could be as well, right?

But truth be told tho, women always want the man to be in charge. Back in college, I dated a girl from a very rich family but she'll always handover her credit cards for me to pay for everything. Even her car sef, I am the one who always drives.
